Residents: Raise our taxes

You see this one from the Gazette?

Check out this guy: Jim Reif, a teacher who was on the teacher's side of the bargaining table, challenged that idea. He said teachers agreed to smaller pay increases than the average increase statewide.
"We're doing our part," Reif said.
Reif said if the board had taxed to the maximum allowed by law in recent years, it wouldn't be in the financial straits it finds itself now.
Perhaps taxpayers needed a "breather," Reif said, but now the economy is on the upswing.
"Time to go to the people and say, 'maybe we need a little more from you,'" Reif said.

Wow! He has some balls. Not sure where you are at but I have not personally seen anything form this "upswing" he's talking about. The people have no more to give.

I am nominating him for next weeks Douche bag of the week.
